Damn Blogspot

(Drake's computer = no spell checker)

I had this post I had done about the issue of abortion, yes I was doing a serious post for once in my life. However, Blogspot, in all its wonder and glory, decided that when I hit 'publish post', it was going to say, 'this page is unavailable'. I was so pissed. Basically, in a nutshell now, this is what I have to say: overturning Roe vs Wade is something that scares the hell out of me. Not because it is something I think I could or would ever need/have to do, but because no crusty old man halfway across the country has any right whatsoever to tell me or any woman what we can and can not do with our bodies. My body is my own personal property and if I were ever in the situation where I would have to make a decision about it, I don't know what I would do, but I do know that it a decision up to me and me alone, not some old men on the Supreme Court who don't know me and never will. Did you know that roughly a year or so ago when this was being discussed so heavily again in the courts, that a law was being pushed through that didn't have any provision whatsoever allowing abortion for victims of rape, and women who would likely die from complications if she were to give birth. That just boggles my mind. I can't believe that and if you are not upset about this issue one way or another, then you just aren't paying attention.

My post was much longer than this originally and much better thought out and was a better quality of writing, but alas, apparently Blogspot is pro-life and didn't want me to post. (I'm kind of kidding about this, though it does seem strange that of the three posts I have ever lost, two have been about religion and one has been about abortion). If you want a better, well-written and blunt argument, definitely go read Tobin's post about this topic, and Alito's confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Something else that spurred this post was something I stumbled across on Facebook. There is actually a group called "Your Mom is Pro-Life". I don't have words for that. Just, wow. That's still all I can say, even a few hours later. Wow.

On a completely unrelated and lighter note, here is something I was thinking about at work last night: If I was going to make counterfeit bills, I wouldn't be stupid and make 1000 dollar bills and 5000 dollar bills. That's stupid. I would make 10s and 20s, because everyone always has those and it doesn't look suspicious if you go into a bank and deposit a few 20s at a time. Also, there is this nifty little marker that we sell/use at work that we use to check all the 100 and 50 dollar bills we receive. You mark the bill and if the place you marked it turns dark brown or black, it is fake, but if it is a light brown or tan, then it is real - until counterfeiters figure out a way around that of course. But seriously, wouldn't it just be smarter to make small bills? I don't know, I guess that is why I don't make fake money.
